Description
Carry your sword with the strength and presence of a true knightly champion with this handcrafted leather baldric. Rooted in designs from the late Middle Ages through the Renaissance, this cross-body sword belt ensures your blade rests securely at your side, leaving your hands free for battle, ceremony, or performance.
Forged from genuine 3 mm thick leather, this baldric is made to endure years of faithful service unlike thinner straps that weaken and twist with time. The leather is drum-dyed for colour that seeps deep into the hide, creating a finish that resists fading or cracking. With every use, it develops a rich patina, echoing the timeless character of armour worn in bygone ages.
The solid brass buckle and riveted fittings lend not only durability but also a gleam of medieval authenticity. Fully adjustable, the baldric is designed to accommodate a wide array of sword types, from arming swords to elegant rapiers making it perfectly suited to medieval, renaissance, or fantasy attire.
Historical Note: From the 14th century onward, baldrics became a trusted companion of warriors and captains alike. Worn across the chest, they balanced the sword’s weight more evenly than a hip belt, offering both comfort and readiness on long marches or in sudden combat. Knights, soldiers, and adventurers alike favoured this design, which became as much a symbol of rank and valor as it was a tool of war.
Care Instructions:
-
Store in a dry place, away from damp and direct heat

Wipe clean with a soft cloth; use mild soap and water for stubborn marks
-
Condition with natural leather balm to preserve suppleness and colour
Whether you stride forth as a knight sworn to honour, a hero preparing for fantasy adventure, or a collector seeking a display of medieval authenticity, this Medieval Leather Sword Baldric blends durability, comfort, and timeless style. Carry your sword not only with practicality but with pride.
